Artist Profile: Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid is an Iraqi-British architect based in London, England. I’ve met architecture enthusiasts who have never heard of her, which to me is tragic since she is one of the greatest living architects, which is why I chose her for my second Artist Spotlight! I had the extreme luck and pleasure of catching her show at the Guggenheim in New York City when it was there in the summer of 2006, which featured not only her architecture but paintings and crazy installations as well. Her work is the first I’ve ever seen that when gazing upon it I feel as if I’ve truly been transported into the future. Without futher ado, I give you a selection of her remarkable creations!
